  • UV-B absorbing compounds isolated from plants
    Patent number: 11306118
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds according to general formula (I) with enhanced absorption of UV-B irradiation. The present invention also relates to an UV-B tolerant plant and a method for enhanced production of compounds according to general formula (I) in a plant or plant cell. Furthermore, the invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence SEQ-ID No. 1 encoding FPT2 catalyzing the production of compounds according to general formula (I). The invention further relates to compositions comprising compounds according to general formula (I). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of conferring UV-B tolerance to a plant as well as an UV-B tolerant plant comprising the nucleic acid sequence SEQ-ID No. 1 encoding FPT2 catalyzing the production of compounds according to general formula (I).

  • System and method for producing weighed portions of powder from at least one biological material at cryotemperatures
    Patent number: 7823818
    Abstract: A system and a method for producing a quantified defined portions of powder from at least one biological material at cryotemperature is shown, comprising means for grinding the biological material deposited in at least one first vessel to the powder; means for loosening the powder resulting from grinding the biological material in the first vessel; means for positioning at least one first opening in the first vessel, and means for transferring the quantified defined portions of powder in a plurality of second vessels by using the first opening as a transfer way.
